Thanks for your followup Param,
If the member variable is a class field rather than Property, we should use
the System.Reflection.FieldInfo to query that value. e.g:
============================
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Class1 cls1 = new Class1();
cls1.Name = "cls1";
cls1.Lengh = 1000;
object obj = cls1;
FieldInfo fi = obj.GetType().GetField("Name", BindingFlags.Public |
BindingFlags.Instance);
if (fi != null)
{
Response.Write("<br>Name: " + fi.GetValue(obj));
}
fi = obj.GetType().GetField("Lengh", BindingFlags.Public |
BindingFlags.Instance);
if (fi != null)
{
Response.Write("<br>Length: " + fi.GetValue(obj));
}
}
===================================
Hope helps. Thanks,

|
| Here is the problem. The custom object is a Web Service Client Proxy
class
| in C#. It implements all the properties as member variables rather than
| properties. The PropertyCollection is empty.
|
| Thanks!
